Please Comment...

To your legislators. Your mayor. Your governor.

This week in blog land was the Library Loving Blog Challenge (details at Writer Jen, the blog of Jennifer Hubbard.) Blogger blog about libraries and as an added bonus, make donations to libraries based on the number of comments they get.

Of course, being a librarian and a blogger, I think this is awesome. And I send a big "thank you."

And I just wanted to add one teeny tiny request.

As you are sharing your library love online, please look into your current public library and its funding situation and see if they need your help. While it may include actual fund raising, the help may also be as simple as your contacting government representatives (local, state, national) to let them know: you use your library.

How to find out more about the budget and funding issues that may impact your local library? Because this can be either a local or state issue, Google and find out what is happening in your state, town, and county and then act! Each state has a library association; find your state's association webpage for resources.

Thanks!!
